OF  THE  WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION 

OF  1893. 


I  consider  the  temperance  cause  the  foundation  of  all  social  and  political  reform.— Cobden. 
Among  all  the  causes  of  crime,  intemperance  stands  forth  the  unapproachable  chief. 

—Noah  Davis. 
Four-fifths  of  the  crimes  are  the  issue  and  product  of  excessive  drinking. 

Sir  Matthew  Hale. 
The   great  historical  plagues  of  war,  pestilence  and  famine  have  not  inflicted  greater 

evils  than  have  been  suffered  from  intoxicating  drinks. — Gladstone. 
Temperance  makes   war  only  against  personal  degradation,  domestic   ruin,  pauperism, 

insanity,  vice  and  crime,  and  deals  with  intoxicants  only  as  causes  of  those  fearful 

evils.  

DEPARTMENT  OF  TEMPERANCE, 

Including  all  organizations  for  the  Restriction  or  Prevention  of  the  evils  of

Progress  of  the  World  in  Temperance  will  be  set  forth  by  the

each  other.

made  and  carried  into  effect  by  the  officers  and  Committees  of  the  World's

ILLINOIS  HISTORICAL  SURVEY 


EXISTING  ORGANIZATIONS  WILL  SELECT  TOPICS  AND  SPEAKERS,  arrange 
programmes,  and  conduct  their  own  Special  Congresses,  subject  only  to  such 
general  regulations  as  are  necessary  to  secure  the  success  of  the  whole  series 
of  World's  Congresses,  planned  to  extend  from  the  first  of  May  to  the  last  of 
Oct.,  1893,  and  to  embrace  all  the  principal  departments  jf  human  progress. 

It  is  now  expected  that  the  Temperance  Congresses  will  be  held  during 
the  first  week  in  June,  1893.  The  date  will  soon  be  definitely  fixed. 

As  THE  NATIONAL  TEMPERANCE  SOCIETY  had  taken  steps  to  convene 
a  World's  Temperance  Congress,  before  the  World's  Congress  Auxiliary  was 
formed;  and  upon  its  formation  expressed  a  desire  to  unite  with  f.he  Auxiliary 
in  this  work,  the  proceedings  of  that  Society  have  been  adopted,  with  a  high 
appreciation  of  the  benefit  of  the  co-operation  and  aid  thereby  secured.  The 
report  of  Secretary  Stearns,  herewith  printed,  shows  the  world-wide  interest 
awakened,  and  that  a  great  success  is  already  assured. 

THE  CATHOLIC  TEMPERANCE  SOCIETIES  have  also  taken  conspicuous 
action  in  favor  of  a  great  Temperance  Congress  in  connection  with  the  Colum- 
bian Exposition,  and  will  co-operate  with  the  plans  of  the  World's  Congress 
Auxiliary. 

THE  WORLD'S  WOMAN'S  CHRISTIAN  TEMPERANCE  UNION  will  hold  a 
great  Congress  in  this  series,  and  will  co-operate  to  make  all  the  Temperance 
Congresses  pre-eminently  successful.

FIRST  REPORT  OF  SECRETARY  STEARNS  OF  THE  NATIONAL 
TEMPERANCE  SOCIETY. 


A  GREAT  SUCCESS  ALREADY  ASSURED. 


58  READE  STREET,  NEW  YORK,  December  i5th,  1891. 
HON.  C.  C.  BONNEY, 

President  of  the  World's  Congress  Auxiliary  of  the  World's  Columbian 
Exposition,  Chicago,  III. 

DEAR  SIR:  The  National  Temperance  Society  and  Publication  House, 
in  carrying  out  the  plans  for  a  World's  Temperance  Congress,  which  were  in 
part  formulated  and  promulgated  before  the  decision  was  made  to  hold  the 
Columbian  Exposition  in  Chicago,  desires  to  work  in  perfect  harmony  with  the 
plans  of  the  WORLD'S  CONGRESS  AUXILIARY,  and  in  addition  to  the  holding 
of  our  own  special  Congress,  under  our  own  officers,  with  arrangements  for 
day  and  evening  meetings,  also  to  unite  in  the  popular  Union  meetings,  to  be 
held  under  the  auspices  of  the  World's  Congress  Auxiliary,  and  help  to  make 
the  occasion  the  greatest  gathering  of  the  world's  hosts  of  temperance  workers 
ever  held. 

I  enclose  preliminary  call  of  the  World's  Temperance  Congress  Commit- 
tee of  our  Society,  and  also  desire  to  report  what  has  since  been  done  to  fur- 
ther this  object. 

Under  instructions  from  our  Society's  World's  Temperance  Congress 
Committee,  I  visited  Europe  last  summer,  conferred  with  many  prominent 
workers  from  many  countries,  and  secured  promises  from  all  of  hearty  co- 
operation in  the  movement.  I  attended  the  International  Convention  of  the 
Independent  Order  of  Good  Templars,  held  in  the  city  of  Edinburgh,  Scot- 
land, when  representatives  from  fifty-two  Grand  Lodges  were  present,  repre- 
senting the  United  States,  Canada,  England,  Ireland,  Scotland,  Wales,  Nor- 
way, Sweden,  Denmark,  Isle  of  Man,  Africa,  India,  New  Zealand,  Queensland, 
etc.  This  order  represents  418,000  adults,  and  160,000  juveniles.  The  follow- 
ing resolutions  were  unanimously  adopted: 

1.  Resolved,  That  we  most  heartily  endorse  the  call  of  the  National'Tem- 
perance  Society  for  a  World's  Temperance  Congress,  to  be  composed  of  all 
friends  of  temperance  without  respect  to  organization,  creed,  sex,  or  color,  to 
be  held  in  the  city  of  Chicago  during  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  in 
1893,  and  recommend  that  the  R.  W.  G.  Templar  and  the  R.  W.  G.  Secretary, 
together  with  five  other  representatives  to  be  appointed  by  the  R.  W.  G. 
Templar,  be  the  representatives  from  this  body  to  the  proposed  Congress. 

2.  Resolved,  That  we  recommend  that  each  Grand  Lodge  throughout  the 
world  be  requested  to  appoint  delegates  to  this  proposed  World's  Temperance 
Congress. 

3.  Resolved,  That  the  Executive  of  this  body  be  authorized  to  confer  with 
the  World's  Congress  Auxiliary  of  the  Columbian  Exposition  in  Chicago,  and 
secure  one  day  to  be  set  apart  and  known  as  "  Good  Templar  Day,"  and  that 


the  Executive  be  instructed  to  arrange  a  programme  for  such  day,  and  to 
have  prepared  a  condensed  history  of  the  Order,  as  invited  by  the  National 
Temperance  Society. 

4.  Resolved,  That  the  Executive  be  also  authorized,  in  connection  with 
the  Grand  Lodge  of  Illinois,  to  secure  space  in  the  Exposition  for  a  display  of 
Good  Templar  literature,  supplies,  etc.,  which  shall  be  headquarters  for  the 
Good  Templars  of  the  world  during  the  progress  of  the  Exposition. 

The  following  were  elected  delegates  to  the  World's  Temperance  Con- 
gress: 

Dr.  Oronhyatekha,  of  Canada;  B.  F.  Parker,  Wisconsin;  S.  D.  Hastings, 
Wisconsin;  J.  N.  Stearns,  New  York;  Mrs.  Franc  E.  Finch;  Uriah  Copp,  Jr., 
and  Mrs.  O.  Myhrman,  Illinois. 

In  England  the  greatest  interest  was  manifested  and  hearty  co-operation 
assured.  The  following  Advisory  Committee  has  been  appointed  by  our 
Society  to  take  charge  of  the  preliminary  work  in  Great  Britain: 

Dr.  B.  W.  Richardson,  F.  R.  S.,  the  Venerable  Archdeacon  Farrar,  D.  D., 
F.  R.  S.,  Robert  Rae,  J.  H.  Raper,  His.  Eminence  Cardinal  Archbishop 
Manning,  Joseph  Malins,  Frederic  Smith,  Rev.  Dr.  Dawson  Burns,  Charles 
Wakely. 

I  addressed  several  representative  gatherings  under  the  auspices  of  the 
National  Temperance  League,  and  of  the  United  Kingdom  Alliance,  giving 
the  details  as  far  as  possible,  and  the  plans  of  the  World's  Temperance  Con- 
gress in  Chicago.  Sir  Wilfred  Lawson,  Archdeacon  Farrar,  Dr.  Richardson, 
Rev.  Dr.  Dawson  Burns  and  others  expressed  the  strongest  desire  for  the 
success  of  the  movement,  and  promised  hearty  co-operation. 

At  Zurich,  Switzerland,  I  met  Dr.  A.  Forel,  one  of  the  ablest  physicians  in 
that  country,  who  is  greatly  interested  in  the  proposed  Congress.  He  is  an 
active  member  of  the  Blue  Cross  movement;  promised  a  paper  upon  the 
scientific  aspect  of  the  question;  and  will  attend  the  Congress  if  possible. 

Mr.  A.  M.  Powell,  one  of  our  Society's  World's  Temperance  Congress 
Committee,  has  recently  visited  Great  Britain  and  Belgium,  held  conferences 
with  the  British  Advisory  Committee,  and  reports  a  growing  interest  among 
all  in  behalf  of  the  Congress.  Papers  have  been  promised  by  Dr.  Richardson, 
Canon  Farrar,  Sir  Wilfred  Lawson,  Cardinal  Manning,  Dr.  Moeller,  of  Brus- 
sels, and  others. 

Since  my  return  to  this  country  I  have  attended  the  annual  session  of  the 
National  Division  of  the  Sons  of  Temperance  of  North  America,  held  in  the 
city  of  St.  John,  Province  of  New  Brunswick,  Canada,  with  representatives 
from  the  various  States  and  the  Dominion  Provinces.  The  following  resolu- 
tions were  unanimously  adopted: 

i.  Resolved,  That  we  hail  with  pleasure  and  heartily  endorse  the  propo- 
sition of  the  National  Temperance  Society  calling  a  World's  Temperance 
Congress,  to  meet  in  Chicago  in  1893,  and  believe  it  to  be  an  occasion  when 
all  friends  of  temperance  of  every  shade  of  opinion  and  belief  can  meet  and 
consult  upon  any  phase  of  this  great  question,  and  we  recommend  that  a 


Committee  of  seven  be  appointed,  of  whom  the  M.W.  Patriarch  and  the  M.W. 
Scribe  shall  be  two,  to  represent  this  National  Division,  and  we  also  recom- 
mend that  each  Grand  Division  be  also  represented  on  that  occasion. 

2.  Resolved,  That  the  M.  W.  Scribe  be  authorized  to  prepare  or  cause  to 
be  prepared,  a  brief  history  of  our  Order,  as  invited  by  the  National  Temper- 
ance Society. 

3.  Resolved,  That  a  Committee  of  five  be  appointed,  with  power  to  secure 
a  day,  some  time  during  the  progress  of  the  Exposition,  to  be  known  as  Sons 
of  Temperance  Day,  and  that  they  be  empowered  to  prepare  a  programme 
for  that  occasion. 

The  following  Committees  were  appointed  on  World's  Temperance  Con- 
gress: 

Edward  Crummey,  Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y.,  Benjamin  R.  Jewell,  South- 
ampton, N.  H.,  J.  N.  Stearns,  New  York  City,  E.  H.  Clapp,  Boston,  Mass., 
Thomas  Moulding,  Chicago,  111.,  B.  F.  Dennison,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  and  E.  J. 
Morris,  Cincinnati,  Ohio. 

The  Annual  Convention  of  the  Non-Partisan  National  W.  C.  T.  U.,  held 
last  month,  adopted  the  following: 

3.  Resolved,  That  we  heartily  approve  of  the  Temperance  Congress  at 
the  Columbian  Exposition,  proposed  by  the  National  Temperance  Society, 
and  we  urge  the  appointment  of  some  committee  of  this  organization  to  repre- 
sent us  there  as  requested  by  the  Society. 

The  following  Committees  were  chosen  to  co-operate  with  the  National 
Temperance  Society  in  its  proposed  Congress: 

Mrs.  J.  Ellen  Foster,  Iowa,  Mrs.  E.  J.  Phinney,  Ohio,  Mrs.  T.  B.  Walker, 
Minnesota,  Mrs.  L.  H.  Tilton,  District  of  Columbia,  Mrs.  Richard  Darlington,

Alford,  New  York,  and  Mrs.  M.  H.  Ingham,  Ohio. 

This  organization  proposes  to  hold  a  Congress  of  its  own,  and  will  un- 
doubtedly communicate  with  you  on  the  subject. 

The  Supreme  Council  of  the  Templars  of  Honor  and  Temperance  of 
North  America,  at  its  recent  annual  session,  adopted  the  following  resolution: 

Resolved,  That  we  most  heartily  endorse  the  action  of  the  National  Tem- 
perance Society  in  calling  a  World's  Temperance  Congress,  to  be  held  in 
Chicago  at  the  time  of  the  Columbian  Exposition,  and  that  the  Most  Worthy 
Templar  appoint  delegates  thereto. 

The  following  Advisory  Committee  for  the  Dominion  of  Canada  has  been 
appointed  to  co-operate  with  the  National  Temperance  Society's  World's 
Temperance  Congress  Committee:

Minister  of  Finance,  Dr.  Oronhyatekha,  Right  Worthy  Grand  Templar  of  the 
Good  Templars  of  the  world,  Hon.  W.  H.  Howland,  Ex-Mayor  of  Toronto, 
and  Rev.  A.  M.  Phillips,  B.  D.,  of  the  Royal  Templars  of  Temperance. 

I  recently  held  a  conference  with  this  Committee  in  Toronto,  and  assur- 
ances were  given  of  hearty  co-operation  from  the  Dominion  of  Canada. 


It  is  proposed  to  hold  the  Congress  in  four  General  Divisions,  during  the 
days  allotted,  as  follows:

Yours  truly, 
J.  N.  STEARNS. 

The  call  mentioned  is  as  follows: 

NATIONAL  TEMPERANCE  SOCIETY  AND  PUBLICATION  HOUSE, 

58  READE  STREET,  NEW  YORK. 


THE  WORLD'S  TEMPERANCE  CONGRESS. 

The  celebration  of  the  four  hundredth  anniversary  of  the  discovery  of 
America  by  a  World's  Columbian  Exposition  in  Chicago,  in  1893,  under  the 
sanction  and  by  invitation  of  the  Government  of  the  United  States,  will  bring 
together  a  large  number  of  representatives  of  many  countries  to  participate 
in  the  great  historic  commemoration.  Besides  the  material  exhibits  of  the 
various  nationalities,  it  is  proposed  that  there  shall  be  a  series  of  World's 
Congresses  to  commemorate  also  their  achievements  in  science,  literature, 
education,  jurisprudence,  charity,  philanthropy,  religion,  and  in  other  depart- 
ments of  human  activity,  for  the  elevation  of  mankind.  A  WORLD'S  CON- 
GRESS AUXILIARY  OF  THE  WORLD'S  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION  has  been 
officially  authorized  and  organized  to  promote  the  holding  and  success  of  such 
Congresses. 

In  September,  1889,  prior  to  the  organization  of  the  World's  Congress 
Auxiliary,  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the  National  Temperance  Society,  hav- 
ing had  under  consideration  the  subject  of  calling  a  World's  Congress  of 
Temperance  workers  of  all  shades  of  opinion  and  of  all  varieties  of  methods 
opposed  to  strong  drink  and  the  drink  traffic,  that  all  might  become  more 
familiar  with  the  progress  and  needs  of  the  work  in  all  lands,  adopted  unani- 
mously the  following  resolution: 

WHEREAS,  It  is  proposed  to  hold  the  World's  Fair  and  Exposition  in  this  country  in  the  year 
1893,  which  will  be  attended  by  people  of  all  nations;  therefore, 

Rfsolreit,  That  we  deem  it  expedient  to  hold  a  World's  Temperanct  Congress  some  time 
during1  the  progress  of  such  Fair,  and  that  a  Committee  be  appointed,  \vith  full  power  to  call  such 
Congress,  and  make  all  necessary  arrangements. 

The  World's  Temperance  Congress  Committee,  appointed  in  accordance 
with  this  resolution,  and  in  consultation  and  co-operation  with  the  WORLD'S 
CONGRESS  AUXILIARY,  therefore  call  a  World's  Temperance  Congress  to  meet 


in  the  city  of  Chicago,  in  June,  1893,  the  definite  days  to  be  hereafter  an- 
nounced. 

It  is  expected  that  the  Congress  will  continue  in  session  at  least  four 
days;  that  simultaneous  sessions  will  be  held  in  several  sections  for  the  pre- 
sentation and  discussion  of  the  various  topics  which  will  claim  the  attention 
of  the  Congress.  There  will  be  an  extended  series  of  papers,  presented  by 
able,  thoroughly  competent  writers  of  various  countries,  embracing  a  con- 
densed history  of  the  origin  and  work  of  the  various  temperance  organizations 
and  orders,  and  the  present  condition  and  needs  of  the  temperance  reform  in 
the  different  nationalities. 

At  the  Committee's  request  the  State  Department  at  Washington  has 
kindly  consented  to  have  addressed  to  our  Consular  officers,  in  all  the  coun- 
tries wherein  America  is  officially  represented,  the  following  questions,  for 
such  replies  as  these  officials  may  be  able  to  make,  and  to  have  the  world- 
wide information  thus  secured  placed  at  the  Committee's  disposal  for  use  at 
the  World's  Temperance  Congress. 

1.  Statistics  as  to  the  quantity  and  kinds  of  intoxicating  liquors  produced. 

2.  As  to  Government  methods  of  dealing  with  the  manufacture  and  sale 

of  intoxicating  liquors. 

3.  As  to  intemperance  as  related  to  poverty,  immorality,  and  crime. 

4.  As  to  what  efforts  are  being  made  to  discourage  the  use,  manufacture, 

and  sale  of  intoxicants. 

The  Committee  cordially  and  earnestly  invite  representatives  from  all 
temperance  organizations  and  religious  bodies,  or  other  organizations  in  sym- 
pathy with  the  objects  of  the  Congress,  and  prominent  friends  of  temperance 
n  foreign  countries  not  connected  with  any  organization.  It  will  be  a  Con- 
gress for  deliberation  only;  no  resolutions  will  be  entertained,  or  action 
taken,  of  binding  force  upon  the  representatives  of  any  country  present.  All 
national  organizations  should  send  seven  representatives;  State  and  Provin- 
cial organizations  should  send  five  representatives;  local  organizations  two 
representatives.  In  case  organizations  shall  fail  to  appoint  representatives, 
the  presiding  officers  thereof,  or  in  their  absence  or  failure,  the  secretary  may 
appoint  representatives. 

English  and  French  will  be  the  languages  of  the  Conference.  The  Com- 
mittee anticipate  that  this  Congress  will  be  the  most  important,  most  memor- 
able representative  gathering  ever  convened  in  any  country  in  the  interest  of 
the  cause  of  Temperance. 

All  bodies  appointing  representatives  to  the  Congress  are  requested  to 
send,  at  the  earliest  practicable  date,  the  names  and  addresses  of  such  repre- 
sentatives to  J.  N.  STEARNS,  No.  58  Reade  Street,  New  York,  Secretary  of  the 
World's  Temperance  Congress  Committee,  to  whom  all  communications 
relating  to  the  Congress  should  be  addressed.

NOTES. 

1.  Mixed  Committees  are  not  appointed,  but  a  Committee  of  Men  and  a 
Committee  of  Women  on  the  same  or  a  kindred  subject  will  act  together  as 
may  be  found  expedient. 

2.  The  members  of  the  Advisory  Councils  will  co-operate  with  the  Local 
Committees  by  individual  correspondence,  and  their  suggestions  are  cordially 
invited.     They  may  also  unite  in  communication  if  they  so  desire.    With  few 
exceptions  the  membership  of  the  Committees  is  local;   that  of  the  Advisory 
Councils  is,  for  the  most  part,  composed  of  non-residents  of  Chicago.     Mem- 
bers of  Advisory  Councils  rank  as  Honorary  and  Corresponding  Members  of 
the  Auxiliary. 

3.  Additional  appointments  will  be  made  on  the  above  Committees  and 
Councils,  and  other  Committees  and  Councils  will  be  appointed  as  may  seem 
expedient. 

4.  Communications  in  relation  to  the  proposed  Temperance  Congresses 
may  be  addressed  to  the  Chairmen  of  the  respective  Committees.

Preliminary  Address  of   the  Woman's  Committee   on  a  World's 

Temperance  Congress  of  Women  in  Connection  with 

the  World's  Columbian  Exposition  of  1893. 

FRANCES  E.  WILLARD,  CHAIRMAN. 


yO  the   Women  of  the   World: 

"It  is  a  pity,  for  I  had  something  here,"  cried  Andrea  Chenier, 
striking  his  broad,  white  forehead  with  his  hand.  Lamartine  calls  him,  "at 
first  the  hope,  and  afterward  the  everlasting  regret  of  French  poesy,"  and 
tells  us  that  on  his  way  to  the  guillotine  Chenier  uttered  these  pathetic  words. 
The  poet's  attitude  and  language  are  a  figure  of  Humanity,  with  its  beautiful 
brain  clouded  by  centuries  of  the  alcoholic  hallucination  morked  by  the  intri- 
cate vagaries  of  opium  and  nicotine,  and  fevered  by  passion's  strange  delirium. 
The  Pharos  of  human  Reason  burning  with  its  clear  and  steadfast  ray,  lighted 
from  the  mind  of  God,  sends  its  beams  far  out  over  tht  waves  of  time;  but  the 


pity  of  it  is  that  this  guiding  light  has  been  obscured  by  poisons  that  mar  the 
brain's  integrity. 

Humanity  has  called  a  halt  at  last  in  its  Bacchannal  procession.  The 
great  revolt  is  growing  fast.  Science  with  her  pure  torch  pilots  the  way  out 
of  the  wilderness,  and  Faith  marches  beside  her  fearless  sister,  with  calm  eyes 
turned  toward  Heaven.  It  was  fitting  that  wise  men  of  the  West  should  say: 
While  we  welcome  the  world  to  witness  the  splendid  panorama  of  what 
man's  busy  hand  has  wrought,  let  us  also  invita  all  men  to  study  with  us 
whate'er  his  thinking  soul  has  thought,  and  in  all  that  thinking  nothing 
shall  outrank  the  Science  and  the  Art  of  a  clear  brain,  a  steady  beating  heart, 
a  hand  that  does  not  tremble.  For  the  white  light  of  truth  shines  always 
through  the  stained  glass  window  of  the  brain.  Witty  and  wonderful  as  man's 
inventions  are,  they  have  been  wrought  at  grievous  disadvantage,  and  the 
temperance  reform  has  a  pupose  no  less  rational  than  to  cleanse  and  polish 
the  sky-light  of  the  brain,  that  God's  white  light,  undimmed  and  unrefracted 
may  shine  down  upon  a  developed,  an  illuminated,  and  a  redeemed  humanity. 

If,  in  the  interest  of  the  race,  we  strive  to  gather  up  mankind's  best 
thoughts,  embodied  and  emblazoned,  that  the  best  may  be  brought  to  the 
knowledge  of  the  most,  how  much  higher  is  the  hope  that  would  at  the  same 
time  convene  the  noble  thinkers  themselves;  and  what  thinkers  could  assemble 
for  purposes  more  praiseworthy  than  those  whose  life-work  it  is  to  help  set 
free  from  thraldom  that  sacred  instrument  of  thought — the  human  brain? 
Thus  has  it  come  about  that  with  the  official  recognition  and  approval  of  the 
United  States  Congress,  and  by  authority  from  the  World's  Fair  Directory 
the  World's  Congress  Auxiliary  has  been  organized  to  arrange  for  and 
conduct  a  series  of  World's  Congresses,  among  which  will  be  a  World's 
Temperance  Congress  of  Women,  to  co-operate  with  a  similar  Congress 
of  Men,  to  be  held  under  the  charge  of  a  committee  of  which  His  Grace 
Archbishop  John  Ireland  is  Chairman,  as  well  as  to  hold  its  own  separate  ses- 
sions. These  conventions  will  be  convened  in  Chicago  early  in  June,  1893,  to 
consider  all  branches  of  this  greatest  among  reforms,  under  the  general  heads 
of  Preventive,  Educational,  Evangelistic,  Social,  and  Legal  measures,  for 
putting  away  the  individual  use  of  alchoholic  and  narcotic  stimulants,  and 
separating  governments  from  all  responsibility  for  the  fearful  evils  of 
intemperance,  pauperism,  insanity,  and  crime  arising  from  their  manufacture, 
transportation,  and  sale  for  such  use.  The  exact  date  of  the  Congress  will  be 
announced  hereafter. 


All  Temperance  Organizations  of  women  in  every  nation  are  invited  to 
send  as  delegates  their  general  officers  — or  proxies  who  shall  represent  them 
— and  besides  these,  one  delegate  for  each  one  thousand  members  duly  accred- 
ited on  the  books  of  their  respective  Treasurers.  Well-known  leaders,  experts 
and  specialists  in  the  temperance  reform,  and  particularly  those  whose  names 
are  on  the  list  of  the  Advisory  Council  of  this  Committee,  and  are  specially 
charged  with  working  up  this  Woman's  Temperance  Congress,  are  hereby 
invited  to  attend  as  ex-officio  members  with  full  powers. 

To  this  Advisory  Council  we  appeal  for  advice  and  co-operation  in  all 
the  ways  that  the  wide  observation  and  long  experience  of  its  members  in 
reform  and  philanthropic  work  will  be  sure  to  suggest. 

First  of  all,  we  ask  them  to  secure  the  publication  of  this  present 
announcement  and  address  in  all  papers  and  magazines  that  they  can  influ- 
ence, for  the  purpose  of  giving  a  world-wide  recognition  of  the  significant  and 
helpful  fact  that  by  the  desire  and  decision  of  men,  women  are  to  share 
equally  with  themselves  in  all  the  honors  as  well  as  the  labors  and  the  cares 
of  the  great  Exposition,  and  that  the  temperance  cause  will  be  given  all 
possible  opportunity  for  a  larger  hearing  than  it  has  ever  yet  enjoyed.  With 
no  intention  to  interfere  with  the  suggestions  thus  earnestly  sought  by  our 
Committee,  we  beg  to  lay  before  our  Advisory  Council  the  following  ques- 
tions, asking  the  opinion  of  each  one  of  its  members,  with  any  and  all  other 
elucidations  of  the  great  subject  that  may  occur  to  their  minds: 

1.  What    persons    do    you  especially  recommend   for   participation   in   the   addresses,  de- 
bates, speeches,  singing,  or  other  features  of  the  World's  Women's  Temperance  Congress? 

2.  What    topics  do    you    suggest  for  consideration  by  the  Congress,  and  to  whom  would 
you  assign  the  same  for  preparation  and  presentation? 

3.  What  mottoes  or  devices  do  you  suggest? 

4.  What   is   your   opinion    concerning    the    participation    of    Children    in    this    Woman's 
Temperance    Congress?    Would    you    give   representation   to    their   societies,    and    if  so,    upon 
what  basis? 

And  although  the  Congress,  as  such,  will  not  have  anything  to  do  with 
any  material  exhibit  of  any  kind,  we  take  the  liberty  to  add  the  following 
questions,  as  a  matter  of  convenience,  and  to  save  the  trouble  and  expense  of 
a  separate  communication: 

a.  In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  World's  Woman's  Christian  Temperance  Union  has 
determined  to  have  an  exhibit  of  Temperance  Literature,  Banners,  Mottoes,  Medals,  Photographs, 
Documents,  etc.;  to  erect  a  Fountain,  establish  a  Printing  Office,  conduct  a  Restaurant,  Cafe, 
Temperance  Hospital,  etc  ,  at  Chicago  in  1893,  what  will  the  women  of  your  country,  society 
or  locality,  do  to  help  fill  out  this  great  object-lesson  of  the  Temperance  Reform? 


b.  What  literature  should  be  on  sale?    We  wish  to  get  the  best  from  all  qpuntries  and 
in  all  languages? 

c.  What  are  the  best  temperance  drinks  of  which  you  are  cognizant? 

We  invite  correspondence  and  suggestions,  not  from  our  Advisory 
Council  alone,  but  from  any  and  all  who  read  this  address;  for  we  believe 
that  this  great  gathering  should  be  "  made  up  of  every  creature's  best." 

We  are  confident  that  in  our  arduous  undertaking  —  to  which,  without 
your  help,  we  should  be  sure  to  prove  ourselves  inadequate  —  we  may  rely 
upon  your  warm  sympathy  and  intelligent  aid.  We  will  therefore  go  forward 
with  all  diligence  and  courage,  invoking  above  all  else  the  indwelling  presence 
of  Him  in  whose  image  man  was  made,  and  to  whose  image  and  likeness  man 
is  to  be  restored.  In  this  prayer  and  this  endeavor  we  are  your  comrade- 
workers,  in  the  love  of  God  and  of  Humanity  and  our  most  sacred  Cause.
